My bike is making me nervous. I've got 21,000 miles on her and she started making a noise yesterday.
When I accelerate hard from a dead stop, I get a chatter and a high-pitched screech from what I assume is the clutch. The closest thing I can relate it to is when you engage the blade on a belt-driven riding lawnmower.
It still shifts fine, rides fine, and will pull away from a stoplight at a normal pace with no problem. The bike did sit for about a month while I scraped together the money for a new tire.
Does anyone else have this issue or know what it could be? If I haven't given enough information, feel free to ask and I'll try my best to answer.
Thanks.
